Intercompany STO vs Sale-Purchase

Hi,
What advantage does Intercompany STO provide over Sale-Purchase between two co. codes. As far as steps are concerned - there is not much difference. Are there advantages from accounting point of view ?
Why MIGO and MIRO are reqd. in intercompany STO?
Thanks

Hi,
Advantages? You save steps, ie. clerical work. For instance, with the PO you save one document. It works as a PO for the buyer and as SO for the plant provider. From this PO you can create a delivery with VL10B or VL10D.
You can manage the stock in transit. So, you need to run MIGO. Why MIRO? You need to invoice deliveries too (VF01/VF04).
I hope this helps you

Material division in Intercompany STO Invoice

Hi All,
We have Intercompany STO scenario with Billing.However when we create an Invoice with the delivery created for an intercompany Purchase order the division in the line item of the invoice shows 00( cross division) and not the division of the material from the material master.
When we do a billing( with refernce to a delivery) for a regular Sales order the division in the billing document line item shows the corresponding one in the material master.We have different Billing type for Intercompany STO and Sales order.
Kindly let me know if i am missing some configuration or if i can achieve this only using custom exit.
Regards,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
To get the Item Level Division in the sales order we have to check Item Dbision check box in the Sales document type maintenance.This would result in the division of the Item in a sales order to come from the material. Where as the Inter company STO has no sales order and the division at the header level would be from the Intternal customer which is your recieving plant. And in sales order ,we have a provision to check If the Item Level division and the header level division differs, system will throw an error or warning message based on the configuration we make in VOV8. But in Inter company STO we will be Invoicing the Recieveing plant wchich will be assigned to particualr Inter company billing division, the Billing document will have that particular division. Check to whcih sales area(Interco Billing Div) your plant has been assigned to by going to
SPRO-IMG-MATERIALS MANAGEMENT-PURCHASING-SETUP STO-DEFINE SHIPPING DATA FOR PLANTS.
Kindly please let me know If you need any more Information on this.

Creation of Sales Order throogh Intercompany STO

Dear SAP Gurus,
I have a question
In the intercompany stock trasnport orders.As per the standard process
i) Creation of STO
ii) Creation of replenishment delievry.
iii) Goods Issue from the supplying plant.
iV) Good receipt at the receiving plant.
Our requirement is to create a sales order through IDOC in place of delivery at the delivering company code.
All the subsequent docuements like delivery and shipment will be based on this newly created sales order.
I want to know primarily that is there anyway of creating a sales order instead of Delievery subsequent to creation of STO.
IF so how can we disable the SAP standrad process ( Std Intercompany STO process) and enable our requirement.
A quick response is highly appreciated.
Regards
Ganesh

Hi,
You can create sales order in the background while creating intercompany purchase order.
By using BAPI BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1.

STO route to Sale-purchase route

Hi experts,
Currently we are doing STO steps for transfer of material from one plant to antother plant. Now, our finance deptt wants to stop STO route for stock transfer. Instead, they want to configure it through Sale-Purchase route.
Kindly help in following:
1. What would be the configuration steps
2. What would be the transaction steps
3. What would be the advantages/Dis-advantages by adopting this route.
thanks in advance,
regards,

Hi,
Thanks. Can you please explain where and why we do the plant assignment.
In addition, as per my understanding, there would be change in automatic account assignment activities as under:
1) On PGI, following a/c entries takes place at Sending plant:
In case of STO:
Receiving plant Debit
To Inter unit transfer (out)
To Excise Duty Payable (if applicable)
In case of Inter-plant Sale:
COGS
To Inventory
Similarly there would be auto accounting posting at the time of Billing (VF01) and Excise Invoice (J1IIN)
2) At receiving plant there would be different accounting entries while GR against Outbound Delivery / STO PO or against Normal Purchase Order.
Can anybody help on this ..

Intercompany STO return process pricing

Dear Experts,
SALE PROCESS WITH BILLING
1) Intercompany Sale with billing
Company code- 3000
Plant -D001
material qty-10 with price pr00 -1 USD with discount 10 %
raise Purchase order
TO
Company code 1000
Plant A001
process flow= ME21NVL10B-VL02NVF01MIGO--MIRO
RETURN PROCESS
client want the same pricing what they paid from old PO ( ME21N) to get back money
Company code- 3000
Plant -D001
material qty-2 with price pr00 -1 USD with discount 10 %
raise Return Purchase order (with respect to old purchase order) to company code 1000 plat A001
when i am doing my invoice (IG) at company code 1000 how pricing should done
question
1) all pricing element should copy from Purchase order like PB00 , RA01 condition to my invoice (IG)
then how account determination will happen
or
new SD pricing should carried out how????
Please guide
thanks in advance

Hi Hanumant,
In the above scenario you have mentioned, A001 is your supplying plant & D001 is the receiving plant (which is raising the intercompany STO).
So as you mentioned inorder to return the goods, Plant D001 will raise a Return PO with all the conditions as that in its STO & will return the goods to plant A001 using 161 mov. & you can post a credit memo for the return PO.
Incase of A001, you can create a return order (SD) with ref to its billing doc & do a return delivery to take back the goods.
Thanks & Regards,

Intercompany STO with Delivery & Billing- Return STO

Hi Everyone,
Currently I am doing Intercompany STO with Delivery and Billing, which is working perfetly fine.
We create 1 Purchase order for 1,00000 LB and it will be finish after 6 months ( we provide schedule to supplying plant weekly for next 6 month, how much they have to ship ) Some times we received less quantity from supplying plant lets say weekly they have to sent 100 LB but they sent only 85 LB in last week of month and I have to close the sales.
In this can I use Return STO process ? I dont want to adjust quanity in next shipment because I have to close sales.
Some times at the time of GR we found that they have send 85 qty and sometimes we finished GR and Invoice then we get to know later that qty was less.
Return process
- Create return PO with Returns check in PO (NB)
- Create delivery , Vl10B
- PGI
- Credit memo
is this right process?
Thanks
Shree

Slight change in your return process.
Your Return process.
Return process
- Create return PO with Returns check in PO (NB)
- Create delivery , Vl10B
- PGI
- Credit memo
Correct process :
- Create return PO with Returns check in PO (NB)
-GR with 161 MVT type
- Create delivery , Vl10B
- PGI
- Credit memo
Returns :
Case 1 - At the time of GR
Case 2 - GR and Invoice both done
You can follow same process to the both scenarios as you are creating new PO for returns.

Shipping tab missing in intercompany sto

Hello every one,
I configured Intercompany STO and I could complete the whole process of sto till to the invoice,
I again created a vendor with reference to above intercompany vendor and started to create a PO and in this case I am unable to find the shipping tab. I've not changed the account group while creating the new vendor and in the account group settings plant level data is allowed indicator is set.
I am unable to understand why I am unable to create a sto for the new vendor i created. Both the vendor master records are same infact as I said I created the second one with reference to the first one. No settings are changed at the SPRO level.
Can someone say if i am missing something at the spro level or master data level?

chaitanya.

Unable to Invoice Intercompany STO delivery

Hi,
We have an Intercompany STO wherein we are unable to call out the Delivery to Invoice.
What should be checked to sort this out.
Please advice.
Regards,
Sophia Xavier.

CHECK THE SETTINGS SOPHIA
The following steps have to be followed in order to configure stock transport order between two plants.
1. Create a vendor for the Company code of the receiving plant using account group 0007 via T-Code XK01.
2. In the purchasing data view assign the supplying plant and the schema group
3. Create customer with the sales area of the vendor.
4. The shipping conditions, the delivering plant and the transportation zone determine the route in the STO.
5. In the pricing procedure determination relevant to the STO assign document pricing procedure and customer pricing procedure to get the pricing in the invoice.
6. Maintain condition records for pricing condition.
7. Maintain carrier as a partner in the customer master.
8. In OMGN select the supplying plant and assign the company code and sales area. Similarly select the receiving plant and assign the company code and sales area (The company code to which the plant is assigned to).
9. Assign the delivery type and checking rule to the document type.
10. And finally, assign the purchasing document type to the supplying plant and the receiving plant.
11. Create the STO using T-Code ME 21N and save.
12. Check for release strategy if any and release using T-Code ME 28.
13. Create delivery in background using VL10G.
14. If delivery is created, it is an indication of correct configuration and master data creation.
Stock transfer between two plants in different company codes is known as inter company stock transfer.
Material should be maintained in both supplying and receiving plant MM01
Stock should maintain only in supplying plant MB1C
Create receiving plant as a customer in supplying plants company code and sales area XD01
Assign this customer number in receiving plant details OMGN
Assign supplying sales area in supplying plant details OMGN
Assign delivery type NB for in combination of supplying/ receiving plants.
Create STO ME21N
As it is normal there in the item details we should get shipping date i.e. customer number
Go for Delivery VL10B
Shipping point *****

Movement type for goods issue in intercompany STO business scenario

Hi, everyone,
In intercompany STO scenario, firstly we should create a purchase order with a transfer order type just like as UB,
then we use T-code: VL10B to create the delivery note by referencing the purchase order created in first step, in succession, billing, goods reciept.
Actually I have a question about the movement type in goods issue process. The standard is 643 deliveried by SAP.
Can I customize the movement type in intercompany STO business scenario

hi,
The following are the scenarios of cross plant goods movements:
Alternate plant procurement of purchased items
Alternate plant production
Plant-to-plant goods transfer of grouped project stock
Stock transfer without reference to a stock transfer order (STO)
1 Step 301
1 Step reversal 302
Stock transfer with reference to an STO in the receiving plant without SD
2 Steps - 351 and 101
2 Steps reversal 102 and 352
Stock transfer with reference to an STO in the receiving plant with SD delivery
2 Steps 641 and 101
2 Steps reversal 102 and 642
1 Step 647
1 Step reversal 648
Movement Type & Description
301 / 302
Goods receipt into production order in another plant. This is a one-step, cross-plant stock transfer. This movement type does not use STOs but behaves like a goods receipt of stock, except that the stock comes from another plant into the current plant. Movement 302 is the reverse of 301.
351 / 352
Stock transfer that is in transit between two plants. This is a twostep, cross-plant stock transfer, because after movement 351, you do not immediately see the stock in the receiving plant. After movement 351, the stock is in transit between the two plants. Only after you have performed a goods receipt (movement 101/102)of this in-transit stock into the receiving plant can you see this stock in the receiving plant. Movement 352 is the reverse of 351.
641 / 642
Stock transfer that is in transit between two plants, with delivery documents (Sales and Distribution). This is a two-step, cross-plant transfer of stock, because after movement 641, you do not immediately see the stock in the receiving plant. After movement 641, the stock is in transit between the two plants. Only after you have performed a goods receipt (movement 101/102 ) of this in-transit stock into the receiving plant can you see this stock in the receiving plant. Movement 642 is the reverse of 641.
647 / 648
Stock transfer to another plant, with delivery documents (Sales and Distribution), with STO. This is a one-step, cross-plant stock transfer because after movement 647, you cannot immediately see the stock in the receiving plant. The stock is never in transit with this movement type, but the stock is transferred with reference to an STO with Sales and Distribution documents. Movement 648 is the reverse of 647.

Intercompany STO - Reverse Process

Hi Gurus
What is the process/config steps for the intercompany STO reverse process.
Forward is: NB (PO) --> NLCC (Delivery) --> IV (Billing). No sales order involved.
Please advise the reverse flow and necessary configs involved.
Regards
RG

Hello,
As per standard practice for managing intra compnay or intercompnay stock transfer return, you can use the followig process;
1.Create stock transport Purchase order and also tick mark the retrun indicator in the item overview.
2. Now create delivery(return) with VL10B. You must have already customized delivery type and item category settings in customization
For inter company transfer , use delivery type NCR and item cateory as NCRN
For intracompany transfer , use delivery type NLR and item category as NLRN
3. Goods reciept : Do the goods reciept for inventory management with movement type 101 , where as system will do the goods issue for return order with corresponding movement type 161.
4. Post goods Issue wihch in this case will act as post goods reciept.
Go to VL02N and do the Post Goods Issue
With this the system posts the goods receipt in the background.
For Cross-company-code:
With Two-step procedure movement type is 673
With One-step procedure 675
The goods receipt is automatically posted with movement type 161.
For Intra company code:
With Two-step procedure the movement type is 671
With One step procedure the movement type 677
The goods receipt is automatically posted with movement type 161.
I also suggest you please go through SAP OSS Note 430074 - Advice note plant return / store return which will help you in setting up the Stock transport returns.

Intercompany STO

Hi
Intercompany STO Process:
I am creating the Delivery for Intero-STO using Tcode: VL10B.
But, when there is no sufficent stock in the shipping plant side, the D.O is not get created. Also there is no any error message shown stating pertinent to delivery failure (or insufficent stock).
Also, I have choosen the C Delivery proposal option in config on below path.. However there is no any delivery proposal is being shown to select...
SPRO --> Material Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set up Stock Transport Order --> Assign Delivery Type and checking Rule : Avilablity Check Rule: C (Delivery proposal) & Checking Rule: B SD Delivery
Can anybody advise how to fix.
Regards
RG

Hi,
It seems you know the reason why a delivery is not created -> lack of stock.
But according your explanation, no logs are shown into V_sa. Related with this,
check if your user role used into VL10b has fields:
"log by request" and "log after delivery creation" with values.
I hope this info helps!

Deactivate country from sales/purchase tax determination

Hello,
We are facing a typical problem in tax, We have a requiement to deactivate tax for some countries and these countries are not relevant for any sale/purchase tax. For that, we removed the country from define tax determination rules in sales & distribution->basic functions. However when we exectute the intercompany delivery, system showing the various error messages as attached in detail.
The reason we removed the countries since tax classfication view not needed in customer/material master view if the countries are not relevant for tax.
Kindly suggest.
Best Regards,
Goutham

Even if any customer or country is exempted from tax, dont hide from the respective masters.
What I would recommend is that you have a separate tax (as like exports) and assign to a combination of destination country and origin country as tax exempt, in VK11.
thanks

Price in intercompany STO.

Hi All,
We have intercompany STO. The supplying plant is China and recieving Newzealand. We have maintained Vendor for supplying plant with currency USD. But on STO, system takes valuation price for condtiion type (P101) in currency CNY. Document currency is USD, but in line-item Currency is CNY. Is this normal behavior that system takes currency of supplying plant or can this be changed?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Alexandro

Hi,
Kindly check . is it Inter company or Intra company.
In intra company you can't chane the currency/
If inter company can possible to change the currency . because the company code is different. always the valuation will happen for company code currency.
check .
